COTONEASTER 
COTONEASTER *“Dammeri—An essential, first-rate shrub fo- 
the rock garden which is noted for its hardiness and vigor. 
A perfectly prostrate species with bright, evergreen fo- 
liage and large, effective, coral-red berries. Also espe- 
cially valuable for carpeting hot, dry banks. Hardy, dura- 
ble, and pest-free in ordinary to poor soils and sun. Pots, 
each 50c. 
CYPRIPEDIUM—Ladyslipper 
CYPRIPEDIUM *Calceclus pubescens — The Yellow Ladys- 
slipper, often listed as Cypripedium parviflorum, is a 
lovely, graceful, hardy Orchid for shade or a north ex- 
posure. The bright yellow “‘slippers’’ come on 15-inch 
stems in late Spring and always command attention. Plant 
in a very well prepared, rich soil that contains ample 
humus and keep well watered until the plants become dor- 
mant. A beautiful native plant that increases in vigor 
and loveliness through the years. Each 75c. 
DABOECIA—Irish Bell Heath 
DABOECIA *cantabrica alba—A showy evergreen shrub to | 12 COREOPSIS AURICULATA 
feet with small, shiny, dark green leaves and conspicuous, 
nodding, white bells. The plants start blooming in late 
Spring and continue until Fall. Daboecias make a color- 
ful picture in the rock garden, shrub border, or when 
used as edgings. Their requirements are simply an acid, 
peaty soil and sun or very light shade. Bell Heaths are 
particularly suited to climates like that of the West Coast 
but are hardy in colder areas when pruned in early Winter 
and covered with an evergreen mulch. Each $1.25. 
DELPHINIUM 
DELPHINIUM Pacific Strain Hybrids—A magnificent, regal 
Strain of modern Delphiniums with tremendous spikes of 
very large, mostly double flowers in the Spring and usually 
again in the Fall. The plants are vigorous and bushy an“ 
should be spaced two feet apart. Place in a sunny spot 
in rich, loamy, well-drained soil and water copiously while 
the plants are growing. Replant in freshly prepared soil 
every third season. We grow a wide range of superb colors: 
purple, blue, lavender, mauve, and white, all with con- 
trasting or harmonizing centers. Plants shipped only in 
the Fall, Winter, and early Spring and available only in Bae, 
mixed colors. Strong, young plants which will soon be- POA Tate SABIE Nghe a 
come established and bloom in a few months; from pots, 
each /5c, three $2.00, six $3.75. 
DIANTHUS—Pink 
DIANTHUS *Pink Lady—More refined in texture and color 
than most double Pinks and a notable improvement over 
the common single types. The neat, blue gray mats put 
up hundreds of full, pink blooms on thin but sturdy, 12- 
inch stems in late Spring. Easy and very pretty in the 
rock garden or as an edging in almost any non-acid soil 
and sun and charming in old-fashioned bouquets. Each 
50c, three $1.40, six $2.50. 
EPIMEDIUM—Inside-Out Flower 
EPIMEDIUM alpinum rubrum—From the creeping rootstocks 
in early Spring come wiry, airy stems with red and bronze- 
tinted foliage and graceful racemes of red and yellow, 
crystalline flowers. As the small sculptured leaves de- 
velop, they become green and heavy in texture. In the 
Fall the foliage again takes on colorful tints. It is most 
attractive at all seasons in the garden and flower arrange- 
ments. This variety requires only a peaty, loamy soil in 
partial shade and makes a top-notch, 12- to 15-inch 
ground cover. Each 60c, three $1.60, six $3.00.
